[judgment
in PDF, in French] French Internet service providers to block access to
Copwatch Nord Paris I-D-F, a website designed to allow civilians to post
videos of alleged police misconduct. The decision was applauded by the
police union, Alliance Police Nationale <http://www.alliancepn.com/> (APN)
[union website, in French], which argued that the website incited violence
against police. Jean-Claude Delage, secretary general of the APN, said that
"[t]he judges have analyzed the situation perfectly—this site being a threat
to the integrity of the police — and made the right decision."
